A pretty good article on who lives longest and why.

http://www.body-philosophy.net/oldest_people_world

Let's just say that those that do the opposite of what these people do age faster...

Short recap for those who want to read..

1. stress
2. diet
3. genes
4. attitude
5. social network/support

I grew up in Europe, Ukraine (at that time USSR) and often visited uncivilized villages and mountain towns where people didn't know shit about nutrition. Some were very poor and literally... had nothing to eat but rice and beans. Amazingly, amidst those nutrient deprived communities, were elders over 100. After studying nutrition and realizing how vital it is for human survival, I couldn't help but wonder how the hell those village folks lived that long. Well it turns out that those who were honeybreeders had to sell most of their honey to survive, or exchange for other food, and instead they ate the residue--bee pollen.

you mean, lack of telomerase. normal somatic cells do not express it, therefore telomeres continue to shorten until the chromosome no longer functions, rather than having telomerase synthesize more telomere sequences.

There is no 'cure' for aging, except death. Aging is a natural process of all life and not a disease or symptom.

Natural: shortening telomeres creating limit to cell replicability

Pathological: Atherosclerosis, fibrosis, lipofuscinosis leading to gradual impaired function.

Ageing is a complex issue, there seems to be a link between free radicals causing damage to mitochondrial DNA and there is an obvious effect of telomeres in cell senescence. At a point your cells will stop dividing as a result of shorter telomeres and damage from the regular function of the cell will cause apoptosis or accumulation of genetic defects. This is demonstrated in yeast cells that can undergo about 30 divisions without telomerase before stopping.

I believe the studies done on mice have shown that low calorie diets can double the life of a mouse, and diets high in anti-oxidants also help. This is likely due to the fact that if you are consuming more calories you are producing more superoxide free radicals in the mitochondria, and free radicals are counter-acted by anti-oxidants.

Genetics. We're supposed to die. Sorry. Crying or Very sad

If you're really interested check this out: Fantastic Voyage: Live Long Enough to Live Forever (Hardcover)
And here's the Paperback.

-EDIT-
Sorry, I'll explain something real quick.
Look how long life, in general, has lasted. The cells the divide the most (sperm) are also the ones that create new life. Life unlike machines does not "get old". The individuals of life however, do become obsolete and because of this are "programed" to die (related to that telomere the Robbie mentioned). So that's it in a nutshell.
